ISO ideas for crafts for a 3 year old

[slmlmlel]

I have a 3 year old little girl who loves to do arts and crafts while her big sister is at kindergarten. I am running out of ideas and thought all of you crafty people could help me out. We tried the play doh thing on friday and most of it ended up in the carpet. So daddy said no more play doh. She loves to paint so we have been doing alot of that. But, I think she might be getting tired of painting. Any ideas will be helpful. Thank you, Sharon

Dry pasta. Glue it on paper in a design (elbow macaroni) or thread it on yarn to make a necklace!(tube pasta works well)

In school they always do "finger painting" with pudding. messy!!

leaf rubbings with crayons

Cutting pictures from magazines for a collage. (How are the cutting skills?)

Closer to Halloween you can cut a pumpkin and also cook the seeds. That would be two days of fun!

You might want to buy modeling clay as it doesn't crumble like play doh. You may have to make a rule where you can play with it....like a table or kitchen vinyl/ceramic floor.

my kids love these and they arent messy. you can do bingo dots on plain paper or on coffee filters. if you use the filters fold them up and then sprinkle some water on them and they colors will blend together.

another site i like to go to is [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] it is tough to find things by age but there are tons of activities and they are by season, holiday, month. i havent been in a while but i always have had luck with things there.

good luck

You can pick a color or letter of the day / week and then center foods and activities around that. That will help teach / reinforce those ideas.

Have fun!!

My dd is 4 and loves to use a glue stick! I cut up all different colors of construction paper into little shapes and then she rubs the glue stick on them and creates a design on a big piece of construction paper. This seems to keep her busy for a while and we love her little works of art.

I like the watercolor paints as well. She also loves playdoh...yup, it's messy!...lol. I tape wax paper onto my kitchen table before she uses the playdoh. That way it won't ruin my table and I can clean up quick.

I can't wait to check out all the websites listed. There are so many!!! Thanks!
